Political power couples.

The headlines this morning could not have been more confusing:

Star Ledger: “Discord turns to détente for McGreeveys”.

The New York Times: “Clinton to Fight On Despite Split Result”.

Wow! Did you ever think the McGreeveys would settle their differences before the Clinton/Obama folks settled theirs? Gotta love politics! Never a dull moment.

But, maybe, just maybe---there are more similarities between these two “political power” couples than meets the eye…
